Windows 2000 was dog slow even with 128MB memory. Similar like WinNT 4 under 64MB run like a pig. Or WinXP under 256MB. Of course WinNT OS series is rock solid

  > Windows 2000 was dog slow even with 128MB memory. Indeed. A couple of years back, at a former employer, I was given a certain task that required me to set up an "office" in our assembly hall, so the only PC I was allowed to use was one that was practically part of the garbage pile anyway, which turned out to be a Pentium III 450 with 128 MHz of RAM. One of my coworkers gave the heartfelt advice to use Windows 98, but I was young and stubborn. Soon, I was young and impatient. ;-) It was fun, though, the PC had no case, it was just a PSU and a motherboard sitting on a very dusty table, which felt very macho. Fun times.
